That was the best ending ever- anything else would have been too fairy-tale and happily ever after. It was a completely believable ending to an amazingly sad and inspiring stroy. I fould myself completely falling in love with the protagonist. Epic!

I think that Lisa McMann ended her trilogy perfectly with this book. Janie finally makes her decision, and the whole trilogy concludes quite nicely. It's clear that there will be no more books. And yet, McMann left a lot to the reader's imagination. Because Janie's story isn't over. The parts we get to read about are through, but Janie still has a long life to live. The last sentence of the book shows that perfectly, and I hope that you'll agree.

The trilogy on a whole was great. The books are short and quick reads, but they are still deep and meaningful. Sometimes they're even scary. This one in particular has some frightening and gruesome scenes. Fade is still my favourite book in the series; the best by far.

One thing I just want to say I love were the random Canadian references. Like Saskatchewan and loonies. I don't know. They just made me smile.

Good series. Loved the first and second books, they were very adventurous and suspenseful. Gone was more settled and had more to deal with the decision for the rest of Janie's life rather than adventures she goes through like the first couple books.

Summary

Janie receives a phone call that her mother is in the hospital. Once there, she discovers it is not her mother that needs help, but a mysterious man in a coma who seems to be calling to her from his dreams.

By her side is her boyfriend, Cabel, who tries to help her as much as he can. When he starts to have terrifying dreams, Janie becomes torn between the love she has for him and what she feels is right to make him happy.

Janie is learning more and more about herself and what a Dream Catcher's life entails. The last book is a conclusion of her final decision of her life ahead, what she needs for herself, and what she wants it to be for her and Cabel.
